It was a baby girl. The baby's cries echoed the room. Calista took the baby in her hands and handed her to Jacob. Jacob held the baby with caution. He felt something weird when he held her. Like a fatherly affection. He didn't want to support Calista anymore. He wanted to protect the baby.
"Calista please hand her to me. I want to hold her for atleast once." Emy pleaded.
"Not a chance." Calista said with a evil smirk.
Calista snatched the baby from Jacob's hands and took her inside to clean her.
"Jacob, please save her. I just have this final wish before I die" Emy pleaded again.
Jacob didn't say a word. He was hit with a variety of emotions. He wanted to save the baby but he also wanted to take his revenge on Emy.
Jacob said nothing but went away from her to Calista's room. Calista cleaned the baby and laid her on the bed.
"Don't you think we should feed her?" Jacob asked.
"Why bother with any of that when we are gonna take its soul soon?" Calista asked back.
A wave of anger washed through Jacob's mind. His love for the baby won over his revenge on Emy. He was determined to protect her no matter what.
The baby stared into Jacob's eyes and he stared back. He felt a connection he never felt with anyone before. He went and sat near her.
"I'm gonna save you my daughter." He thought and caught her hand.
The night arrived. Emy was still tied up with vervain ropes. She was tired from child labour that she almost fell asleep. She was thirsty.
Calista lighted the house with black candles. And brought Neorah's coffin to the living room. It was where she was going to perform the ritual.
Calista brought the baby. The baby's cries woke up Emy.
"Calista, please spare my child. I beg you. Kill me instead." Emy pleaded.
Calista ignored her and went back to chant the spell. Just when the moon was out completely, she took a knife and made a cut on Neorah's hand. She took her blood in a bowl and glanced at the baby. As soon as she was about to cut the baby's hand, Jacob pushed Calista with every amount of power he had.
Calista was shocked.
"Jacob, what happened to you?" She questioned.
"You cannot kill her. I won't allow you." Jacob warned.
"Jacob this is the only thing that reminds her of James. This is the best revenge we can give her. Think about it." Calista tried to brainwash him.
"I dont fucking care, Calista. Leave the baby or else I will end your life for once and all." Jacob threatened her.
Emy was relieved that Jacob was on her side again. Calista laughed.
"You think you can stop me?" She used her powers to push him against a wall and let him fall down. He fell near Emy and winced in pain.
Calista began to chant the spell once again. Jacob removed the cuffs from Emy's hands and untied her ropes.
"Use your powers. Now!" Jacob urged.
Emy chanted the spell and raised her hands. But nothing worked. She was confused. She realised it was the baby who gavr her the power. It wasn't hers. Now that they got separated, she doesnt have access to the magic.
She rushed to Calista with every amount of energy she had left and pushed her away. Jacob took the baby in his arms and tried to reach the door.
But Calista was faster she chanted a spell that caused a barrier at the door. He couldn't leave the place. He felt helpless.
She snatched the baby again from his hands and used her powers to pin both Emy and Jacob to the wall.
She placed the baby near where she was performing the ritual. She cut her hand and took the blood in the same bowl which contained Neorah's blood and started chanting the spell again. The baby cried in pain as blood was oozing out from the wound.
"Now, it's time to end your life, little one." Calista said.
"No!" Emy and Jacob said in unison.
Just as she was about to insert the knife into the baby's chest the front door barged open.
